I'm sure it will get done eventually, but I don't think its at the top 
of anybody's list.  Doug?

Hey.. will the SRM console boot off of an IDE drive on a 164LX?  I was
pleasantly surprised to find that it will on a new miata (DPW500)

Based on a conversation at USENIX with somebody from Harddata, I don't
think the SRM console will be available for the UX series.

Ack! Are all LX boards horribly broken?  I was assuming they'd be like
Miatas, and brand new boards would have a newer revision 21174..
